Islam teaches that god is irrational and violent, and so Muslims model themselves on their false god, Allah. For more than a millennium, Islam has been a patriarchal, barbaric, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, violent religion with no value for individual human life and no inhibitions on what crimes they are willing to commit to achieve their ends.Anyone in the West who thinks that Islam is a religion of peace should read more of the history of Islam and more of the Islamic hadiths.
Every country that becomes majority Muslim, or has a very strong minority of Muslims, turns into a Sharia nightmare: Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Syria are modern examples.
Too many Americans never hear or read any source texts from Muslims themselves, and instead believe politicians or academics who assert that Islam is a religion of peace—and that Hamas, the Taliban, and Hezbollah are the exceptions rather than the rule. But Islam speaks for itself, and the truth is as ugly as Yahya Sinwar.
Multiple passages in the Quran and Hadith (collected sayings of Muhammed), Islam’s holy texts, and the Sirah (biographies of Muhammed), command or endorse slaughter and depravity.
For instance, below are texts supporting jihad and murder of non-Muslims, including women and children (there are others, but below is a selection):
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed.” (Quran 9:111)
“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them.” (Quran 9:5)
“[Hadith:] It is reported on the authority of Sa’b bin Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.” (Sahih Muslim 4321)
“[Hadith:] Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985)
Notice that Jews are particularly singled out as targets of jihad. As a concrete illustration of this, Muslim Arabs have been waging jihad on Israel since its modern rebirth, and the terrorism has only intensified in recent years (especially after some Arabs began labeling themselves “Palestinians”), culminating in the massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, the worst day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
These 2023 attacks included raping women to death, burning babies alive, kidnapping civilians, and gunning down whole families. All of these crimes are fully allowed and even praised actions within Islam. In fact, Islam is also one of the two ideologies most responsible for violence against Christians in the world now, the other ideology being Communism.
We might also wonder why Westerners show so much concern for Muslims in Gaza caught in a vicious war between Hamas and Israel and so little concern for the thousands of Christians being murdered each year by Muslims in Africa. Why are we sending millions of dollars in aid to Muslims in Gaza while African Christians in nations like Nigeria live in poverty and fear of the Muslims who periodically rape and murder them?
